Description
I got error using `decompress` on AWS Lambda
here is a stack trace when trying to unzip a file, AWS Lambda runs using Node 6.10.
```
at RangeError (native)
at BufferSlicer.read (/var/task/src/handler.js:13590:16)
at readAndAssertNoEof (/var/task/src/handler.js:35297:11)
at ZipFile.readEntry (/var/task/src/handler.js:34927:4)
at Promise (/var/task/src/handler.js:12198:7)
at extractFile (/var/task/src/handler.js:12195:29)
```
Here is the source of the function where line 35297 is for `this.buffer.copy`
```
BufferSlicer.prototype.read = function(buffer, offset, length, position, callback) {
var end = position + length;
var delta = end - this.buffer.length;
var written = (delta > 0) ? delta : length;
this.buffer.copy(buffer, offset, position, end);
setImmediate(function() {
callback(null, written);
});
};
```

Research direction
Start by reproducing the unzip failure in AWS Lambda with Node 6.10 and trace the reported BufferSlicer.read call in handler.js, especially the this.buffer.copy operation. Compare the failing input and read positions with the BufferSlicer and ZipFile stack frames; done means identifying the out-of-range condition and confirming the error no longer occurs for the reported archive.
